INDIANAPOLIS -- Cleveland State University senior J'Nathan Bullock has been named Horizon League Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the period of Nov. 24-30. The selection marks Bullock's first career weekly honor from the League office.

A native of Flint, Mich., Bullock averaged 16.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists during a three-game stretch last week. The forward made 46 percent (19-for-41) from the field and 67 percent (8-for-12) from the free throw line.

Cleveland State improved to 4-2 on the season by winning all three of its contests in the CBE Classic's Miami Regional. The Vikings defeated St. Leo on Monday (72-62), Toledo on Tuesday (77-56) and Florida International on Wednesday (66-58).

Bullock places 10th on CSU's all-time scoring list (1,318) and is just one of 10 players in school history to collect 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.

Bullock entered the 2008-09 season as a first-team All-Horizon League choice. He was named to the League's first team in 2007-08 after ranking sixth in the conference with a 14.8 scoring average.

Cleveland State has three games on its schedule this week. The Vikings host two Horizon League foes -- Valparaiso on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET) and Butler on Thursday (8 p.m.) -- before heading to West Virginia on Saturday (1 p.m.). The Butler game will be televised nationally on ESPNU.
